AX 2018 Photos

SightingsAll of my AX 2018 photos are up!
Again, I was quite busy this year with movie and photo work. I chilled out a lot at this AX because I needed some relaxation time and the heat was killer, so there is not as many photos. Regardless, I will see you at the next con!

I usually shoot several photos of each person, but I picked a few of each to display in the gallery below. Look for yourself through the whole set as they sometimes get uploaded out of order. If you want a larger image or if you want to share these images, please give me credit and drop me a line where you posted the pictures. If you don’t see your picture, contact me here or on Twitter or Facebook as sometimes I mess up on the uploads to my web server. You can also follow me on Instagram.  Feel free to tag your picture in the comment section of each photo! Lastly, I do make my own professional prints on real photo paper (not an home inkjet printer), so drop me a line if you would like me to make you a custom print.

I need your help!  As you may know, I have been working on a Cosplay documentary movie for the last year and a half and it is now 98% done.

I would like to feature these cosplayers from AX2015 in a sequence in the movie and give them a credit, but I lost their contact. If you know them, please contact me here or on Twitter or tag them on Instagram.
